The fans? A greater portion of the smart mark crowd - yes. They don't want him as the number one guy. But WHO do they want? Aside from the fact that that portion of the crowd often forgets that one is one. Not more than one. There is only room for ONE top guy and no matter who it is, a lot of those same mouths will spew the same BS hatred on them as they do Reigns. His promo work and his ring work can be debated until the cows come home, but it is still a subjective matter. I'm not a fan of his promos but I laugh at people who say he's terrible in the ring, because he isn't. His timing is exceptional, his moves are crisp and he sells intensity. He will only get better over time. And to the people who say "all his good matches is when he's with someone who can carry him" well the same can be said about John Cena and numerous other wrestlers over the course of history. I just get tired of the constant bitching. The guy can never do anything to please certain fans. Besides, WWE has him in this spot. What's he supposed to say? NO?  that. He'll take the top spot with an arena full of boos just as any other wrestler in any organization would. Bottom line is, if you hate Reigns, you might as well get used to him being the top guy and accept it. That, or, take a break from watching. Re-charge your batteries. Do something else for the love of God. In case you haven't noticed, there was no #cancelwwenetwork trending after the record setting WrestleMania 32. Nothing after Payback nor anything in between the two shows. That all came from Daniel Bryan not being in and winning the Rumble and all that. It had nothing to do with Reigns. With crowds hi-jacking shows(or trying to) and the amount of ass showing on social media when it comes to Reigns, I don't blame WWE for sticking with who THEY want. The fans are as wishy-washy as they've ever been, so why try to cater to a certain portion of the crowd who turns on people without notice, chants disrespectful things at women, and whatever else they do? I respect WWE for sticking to their guns. Is Reigns my favorite? No. But I'm fine with where they've got him. It's nice to see someone other than Cena, imo. Now I'm sure you guys will have a qoutefest with me telling me how I'm wrong and I'm an idiot and WWE doesn't listen to their fans blah blah blah. Maybe not. It doesn't really matter to me. I just don't get how some of you despise the current product and all the booking and top guy choices but you have no problem getting on the internet daily and expressing your views which shows that you still watch! If you're truly that miserable, why put yourself through it? If you want to show WWE Reigns isn't the guy, stop watching. They don't care how much you bitch and moan just as long as you're watching. Just some food for thought. But misery does love company. Especially on the internet. consistently has the best matches on the card What matches are you watching? Consistently? no......... but he has had a few good ones. |

Regardless of how Reigns is hated/liked, it's really not worth the time editing the image. Whilst it's quick fix to do, it only warrants more attention for the image which people would have never cared for before anyway. Let the haters hate, it don't matter.

I'm just over the Reigns crap. It's just too tiring to keep being annoyed by it. He's 'The Guy', and it won't be changing anytime soon - as unfortunate as it may be.
But I will say that it's so sad that WWE has to resort to this, or pretending that the fans are booing Reigns "for fun", just to create this illusion that he's over. Wouldn't it be so much easier just to push an Ambrose or Styles, who actually are?

He's been given absolute crap to work with for a majority of the past two years and he's still made the best out of it. Combine that with his mic skills and he's the best all-around performer in the company. He should've been the biggest one to benefit from The Shield splitting up. |

He is the face of the company. WWE has made it so very clear by everything they do when it comes to him. WWE has made him the exception to every single rule that makes a superstar successful. They tamper the crowd's reaction towards him, They edit photos that have anything negative about the almighty Roman Reigns. They protect him to the point where nobody could look good feuding with him since WWE wont let anyone kick out of very basic played to death finishing move like the Spear or let them stand tall over golden boy to close a show. Dude hasn't lost a singles match clean. They didnt even go this far with Cena (remember "If Cena Wins, We Riot"?). WWE doesnt care what we think. Vince himself will say it in the middle of a ring surrounded by 12K+ paying customers. They legit doesn't give a about us. Sometimes i just feel sick to be a fan of this crap and continuously fall for bullcrapthey put out. |

I'm so sick of reading Roman Reigns hate on the Internet.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it's just annoying when every time he's bought up someone has to say "blah blah blah, make Roman look strong, blah blah blah, suffering succotash". By this point it just gets on my nerves to see the same memes keep getting overused.

Guess people are happy to see a guy who has no talent, no charisma and no respect be the man for a while. Well done Vince.

If Reigns really annoys all you so much then why don't you all save your self the stress and misery and switch off? WWE is fiction but life is reality and there are more important things to worry about other than a fictional character in a kids show. Disliking a wrestling character is fine I have disliked many over the years but Reigns haters seem to get very personal about him which is pathetic because you don't even know the REAL PERSON who plays the character.
Also you talk about Reigns being underserving and boring well let me throw these guys at you.
Sheamus Alberto Del Rio Batista.
I'm sure there are more but those 3 guys received huge underserved pushes IMO.
Sheamus was only around 5 minutes and he was handed the title.
Del Rio couldn't get over but Vince still booked him to win the Royal Rumble months after his debut.
Batista only got lucky because Lesnar left. He was sloppy in the ring and horrible on the mic and never did much in Evolution apart from tagging with Flair and being their muscle. That also didn't stop Vince from randomly pushing him to the moon which was underserving.
Now tell me what separates Reigns from those guys?
All 3 have more charisma than Roman Reigns. Alberto Del Rio was a good wrestler in Mexico. Batista is what a pro wrestler should be looking like and the fans got behind him when they wanted somebody to end HHHs reign of terror. He did a good job as the face of Smackdown for 5 years. I do agree that Roman Reigns has been booked to look like an idiot, but his Leaping Clothesline/Superman Punch/Spear moveset is just lame. Yeah but Del Rio wore a mask before WWE and that's what got him over. The mask connected with the fans but without it Del Rio has found if difficult. He's a good wrestler but lacks personality and that's due to the fact he relayed on the mask for so many years. Batista as I said was lucky. People hated HHH at that time and begging to see someone take the belt off him. If Reigns was in Batista's position in 2005 he wouldn't have got booed like his is now. |

How do people just accept this craplol. They blatantly insult fans intelligence and take them for granted time and time again and the response is "eh what can you do".

Were you watching in 2004/2005? Batista was over huge. Watch the segment where he finally turned on HHH. Watch his entrances from that time. He got cheers, something Ronan does not. |

It is so pathetic that they edited a fan sign just to protect Reigns, fans see through this crap.

It is just sad that the WWE continues to push him as a face, and that they go to incredible lengths to protect him. A lot of his flaws fall on the company (i.e. gimmick, attire, music, finisher, booking) but some major flaws are on him that he has not after 4 years been able to fix (i.e. horrendous mic skills, awkward body language, awful selling, ABILITY TO ACT LIKE A BABYFACE!!!!)

We're just running in circles here. The same one that always defend him are still defending him, and the ones who love to bash him are out in full force. I'm gonna lock this before anyone gets themselves in trouble.
